Teachers

Have you ever had a teacher so nice that you just wanted to hide in the teacher's bag and go home with her? I have. My teacher is really nice. Her name is Mrs. Dionne. She has a huge dog at her house! His name is Mudge. I have seen him a lot. He's a Mastiff. He has a very strong tail, so sometimes it hurts a little. But he's a REALLY nice dog. I like him. I like Mrs. Dionne, too. She's always smiling.

I still remember my very favorite teacher, Mrs. Czarniak. She was the best. I even got to catch up with her some because her daughter is Lindsey Czarniak, a sports caster on Channel 7, who put me in contact with her.

Chase, I imagine your teacher is a big fan of the books, Henry and Mudge. Are you? Mudge is hilarious! Nice teachers who have big dogs are the best ;)! And what a lucky teacher to have you as a student.

It is nice that you notice that your teacher smiles a lot. I bet she makes learning fun. Maybe that’s why she is always smiling. Hmmm…do you find that you and your classmates smile a lot throughout the day? I think smiles are contagious! Thanks for making me smile today.

HI CHASE!!!!!! It's Avery's mommy! Your blog is awesome and I just now had the chance to read your posts! I love them all! I bet you're sad to not see your teacher today......but super excited to have a SNOW DAY!!!!!!! Do you think Mudge likes running around in the snow?

I remember my favorite teacher, actually two of them. One was in third grade about 55 years ago. Her name was Ms. O'leary, she was young and I thought she might be the most beautiful woman I ever saw. I would have gone home in her bag in a heartbeat.

Fifteen years later I had Ms. Mayer as a teacher in college. She was older, about 62 and I remember thinking that she was one of the kindes and deepest and most beautiful people I had ever met. I did go to her home on several occasions to talk about writing.
